- IKEA has launched the Solvinden Floor Lamp
- It's proving popular and selling fast
- The limited-edition lamp can be used indoors and outdoors
IKEA is renewing its efforts in the smart home space in a serious way, recently pushing out several new contenders for our best smart lights list – and one of the most impressive models in the lighting category is now available to buy again.
The light in question is the IKEA Solvinden Floor Lamp, quietly put on sale by the Swedish furniture giant just a few days ago. Despite the lack of fanfare around its launch, it's proving popular with buyers and social media sharers.
The Solvinden Floor Lamp can be yours for a mere $49.99 / £29 (it doesn't appear to be available in Australia just yet), and is available alongside other entries in the Solvinden range – including a pendant lamp and a table lamp.
IKEA has labeled this as a "limited edition", so it's perhaps no surprise that's selling fast. There are reports of stock running out, but those stocks are being replenished, and it shows up as being available to buy in both the US and UK at the time of writing.
Modes and moods
The main selling point of the Solvinden Floor Lamp is clearly its stylish, slim, arched design. The stand and outer casing are finished in a bold red, with the light itself wrapped around the inside of the arch.
You've got three lighting levels to choose from: strong, medium, and ambient. On top of that it's suitable for outdoor use, with an IP44 rating – I wouldn't recommend sticking it at the bottom of the garden, but it should be fine on balconies.
This isn't a smart light, in that you can't control it from your phone or set lighting schedules, or anything like that. However, it looks great, and IKEA promises it'll give your living spaces "depth, contrast, and a snug vibe".
The TechRadar team has also been impressed by the donut-shaped Varmblixt LED Lamp that IKEA unveiled at CES 2026, but the Solvinden Floor Lamp might just beat it in terms of overall appeal – and if you're keen on it, grab it while you can.
